“I’m
really satisfied with what I’ve seen here,” said Marte Hoffiz. “The Organising
Committee is really well structured and defined, with professionals that
understand what they have in their hands. It will allow the event to be organised
in the best possible way.”

He was also enthusiastic about the beach volleyball
venue at the world-famous Copacabana beach and expressed his hopes that the
event would have even greater success than it had seen at the 2012 London
Olympics.

“We’ll have a splendorous scenario at the
beautiful Copacabana beach. This is a beach volleyball site for excellence.
There is no place in the world like this one,” he enthused.

Marte Hoffiz is also confident that Maracanãzinho
gymnasium will draw huge crowds for the volleyball matches in Rio. Plans are
currently underway to build warm up courts in accordance with the FIVB’s
requirements.

“The Maracanãzinho is the home of Brazilian
and world volleyball. The gymnasium is ready to host the world-class players in
2016,” said Marte Hoffiz.
